The slope of the line below is 0.8. Write the equation of the line in point-slope
1 answer:
The equation of the line is y = 0.8x - 1.4 if the slope of the line is 0.8 and line passes through coordinates (-2,-3)
<h3>What is a straight line?</h3>A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.
The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:
The slope m = 0.8
The line passing through coordinates (-2,-3)
y = mx + c
y = 0.8x + c
Plug the point in the equation.
-3 = 0.8(-2) + c
c = -1.4
y = 0.8x - 1.4
Thus, the equation of the line is y = 0.8x - 1.4 if the slope of the line is 0.8 and line passes through coordinates (-2,-3)

In this problem, you have to find the y- intercept of 
. I graphed mine into a graphing calculator. An algebraic way to find it is to input x=0 in the function. The y-intercept is 5. You can see the y-intercept for the new one is -2. That means we shifted the graph down 7 units. (Vertical Shift down 7)
